Military Operations Resource

[SpiritedMachine 10]

This may be a strange question, and maybe I'm naive to think that such a thing may exist...

But is there such a place that may have information about military operations/missions that have taken place in the past? I don't have a military background, but I do have an interest in the military. I'd like to create some missions for ArmA 2 that are at least semi-realistic. I would assume that missions that come with the game are not set up the way something in real life might be.

Does anyone know of a place that might have information like this? History of a past military operation, how it went down, etc. Or possibly even fiction, but written by someone with military background that knows what they're talking about?

Army Field Manuals

Marine Information

These aren't specific missions. The Army one is field manuals about various forms of operations, organizations, etc. I didn't look at the Marine one but I would figure that there is something similar in there.

In addition to that, try doing a search on ArmA and OFP forums. There was a thread talking about realistic mission ideas a while back. EDIT: Found it for you here.

That's a great start, thanks very much.
